I find Madonna's songs far more relevant than the music of many pop stars today.

Will Madonna's idol be Charo?

Yeah, I personally think that was the real reason they voted to convict.

Might I suggest that a "labia" is a protective person who helps others and is, in general, pretty nice.

Eyewitness testimonies are not invalid after any number of years. If the statute of limitations is still going, you can testify as an eyewitness.

I couldn't care less about Mia Farrow, but I think the persuasive, clear accusations by Dylan Farrow shouldn't be so easily ignored or boiled down to "he said, she said." She's pretty clear about the accusations and she has nothing to gain from continuing to publicize them.

The interviews with the jurors were really enlightening—apparently, they mostly convicted because: a) they thought the liar was getting jail time, so they couldn't figure out why he was testifying if he wasn't telling the truth (he got no jail time); and, b) they thought it was weird that Adnan didn't testify on his…

Give them time.

^This. The Hobbit could be dark like LotR…after all, the story itself is dark and warlike and scary, it's just filtered by the "author," Bilbo. Bilbo writes it years later, when he's fat and settled and older. He writes it like a children's novel. But Jackson could have taken the story and made it darker (while…

Yes—but then why don't other elves have that ability? It should just be constant banister-jumping insanity. I'm not saying I'm against Legolas being unbelievably skilled, I just think they go too far in The Hobbit. He becomes god-like rather than elf-like.

I am not 100% sure what AltaVista is, and I refuse to Google it.

…Bale.

Lame. Glad you're there to teach your niece and nephew to play party games properly, so they won't get blackballed in college.

I felt that the oliphant was more believable. Here's why: I always assumed that scene was an outgrowth of a crazy level of endorphins and frustration. It's a huge battle, one that will determine the fate of Middle Earth. It struck me that Legolas realized that there was only one chance to save the battle, and was…

My pick is Only Lovers Left Alive.

And Wentworth Miller, from Prison Break, is Syrian/Lebanese. Not the greatest actor in the world, but he's recognizable, and Chinese people love Prison Break, so it would have been a win-win.

I saw The Boxtrolls because Ayoade was in that. Big mistake. Give it a miss.

They don't know how to play party games? Your in-laws are evil. They're worse than Will & Grace's straight friends who could never play charades properly.

12 Years a Slave wasn't really a blockbuster, but it defies the "movies need a white lead to get funding" logic. Or Slumdog Millionaire. These aren't classic Ridley Scott epic movies, but they are examples of movies getting funding without a white lead. Before these movies came out, I'm sure there were people who…

More Chinese actors and directors sounds like a great idea! Action directors could learn a lot from Jackie Chan, dramatic movies already steal from Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou, etc.
